Lord have mercy!
How awful. They were so cute on the show. Only 19, so much to live for.....RIP Sawyer.
Sad. RIP.
I just read this elsewhere. Horrible thing. And with the family nearby. I’d forgotten that “Allie” was his actual sister.
They were both a little odd. Nothing like spitting in the good Lord’s face after being provided everything anyone could every want. Glory. Money. Fame. Happiness of fans.
Some people would kill for a life like that. What a waste.
So sad. I just can’t imagine doing it at his family’s home, too. What a shame for everyone involved.
Everytime I see a child actor, I think of what a den of vipers Hollywood is, and what may have happened to them. Corey Feldman basically said Hollywood is full of pedophiles.
This is what early show business does to MOST children.
Look it up.
You would have thought Patricia Heaton would have ensured that the kids were safe and didn’t have anyone trying to diddle the boys, but I guess you never know.
Two blond boys in Hollywood.
Remember what happened to Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.
Maybe the life this guy had was nothing in the same universe as what you imagine.
Hollywood is full of ugliness. Children are targets of some of the filth that inhabit the Hollywood culture. I would not doubt as a child this young man very well might have been touched by some of that filth, and just couldn’t live with it.
Sad news. We love the Raymond show.
I know a woman who lost her twin a few years ago. It has to be one of the most devastating things that can happen.
Hollyweird is child abuse, I wonder what drove him to this?

Suicide is awful. Had a dear friend take his life on his birthday. It is something we living can never understand.
Bingo.
Awful RIP
